The remains of all 67 victims of midair collision near Reagan National Airport have been recovered. Officials said Tuesday that the chief medical examiner is still trying to positively identify one set of remains, officials said in a news release. The news came as crews continued to work to removed debris from the Potomac River, where the aircraft crashed last Wednesday night after colliding as the American Airlines flight was about to land at nearby Ronald Reagan National Airport. Sixty passengers and four crew were on the American Airlines flight, including figure skaters returning from the 2025 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita.

Salvage crews have removed a large portion of a commercial jet from the Potomac River near Washington's Reagan National Airport after a midair collision last week that killed 67 people. Authorities have said the operation to remove the plane will take several days and they will then work to remove the military helicopter involved in the crash. The crash between the American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter over Washington, D.C. on Wednesday was the deadliest U.S. air disaster since 2001. More than 300 responders are taking part in the recovery effort at any given time. Two Navy barges are deployed to lift heavy wreckage.

Police boats continue to search the Potomac River as part of the recovery and investigation into the United States' deadliest aviation disaster in almost a quarter century. Washington, D.C., Fire Chief John Donnelly Sr. said Friday that bodies of 41 of the 67 people who died in Wednesday night's collision between an American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter have been recovered. Planes continue to take off and land at Ronald Reagan National Airport, where the plane was about to land when the collision occurred, though officials say two of the airport's three runways remained closed on Friday. Federal investigators have said they would not speculate on the cause.
